SHORT CORD PURPOSE
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.
…
POLARIZED PLUG
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
please follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an
extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter
the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
This appliance is intended for Household Use Only.
